Chapter 16. What Do You Really Want to be Doing When the Economy Turns Around?
In this section, we're going to deal with the reality of your situation on two different levels: (1)the short-term reality that you probably have a mortgage to pay, a family to feed, and bills that keep arriving in the mail; and (2)you really need to figure out what you want to be doing long term, and where you'd like your true professional path to take you. The danger, of course, is that if you don't know where you're going, then any path will do.
